| molecular function |
| | GO:0051537 | | 2 iron, 2 sulfur cluster binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a 2 iron, 2 sulfur (2Fe-2S) cluster; this cluster consists of two iron atoms, with two inorganic sulfur atoms found between the irons and acting as bridging ligands. |
| | GO:0004129 | | cytochrome-c oxidase activity | | Catalysis of the reaction: 4 ferrocytochrome c + O2 + 4 H+ = 4 ferricytochrome c + 2 H2O. |
| | GO:0009055 | | electron carrier activity | | Any molecular entity that serves as an electron acceptor and electron donor in an electron transport chain. An electron transport chain is a process in which a series of electron carriers operate together to transfer electrons from donors to any of several different terminal electron acceptors to generate a transmembrane electrochemical gradient. |
| | GO:0051536 | | iron-sulfur cluster binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with an iron-sulfur cluster, a combination of iron and sulfur atoms. |
| | GO:0046872 | | metal ion binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any metal ion. |
| | GO:0016653 | | oxidoreductase activity, acting on NAD(P)H, heme protein as acceptor | | Catalysis of an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction in which NADH or NADPH acts as a hydrogen or electron donor and reduces a heme protein. |
| | GO:0016627 | | oxidoreductase activity, acting on the CH-CH group of donors | | Catalysis of an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction in which a CH-CH group acts as a hydrogen or electron donor and reduces a hydrogen or electron acceptor. |
| biological process |
| | GO:0022900 | | electron transport chain | | A process in which a series of electron carriers operate together to transfer electrons from donors to any of several different terminal electron acceptors to generate a transmembrane electrochemical gradient. |
| | GO:0006784 | | heme a biosynthetic process | | The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of heme a, a derivative of heme found in cytochrome aa3. |
| | GO:1902600 | | hydrogen ion transmembrane transport | | The directed movement of hydrogen ion (proton) across a membrane. |
| | GO:0055114 | | oxidation-reduction process | | A metabolic process that results in the removal or addition of one or more electrons to or from a substance, with or without the concomitant removal or addition of a proton or protons. |
| | GO:0008535 | | respiratory chain complex IV assembly | | The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form respiratory chain complex IV (also known as cytochrome c oxidase), the terminal member of the respiratory chain of the mitochondrion and some aerobic bacteria. Cytochrome c oxidases are multi-subunit enzymes containing from 13 subunits in the mammalian mitochondrial form to 3-4 subunits in the bacterial forms. |
| cellular component |
| | GO:0016021 | | integral component of membrane | | The component of a membrane consisting of the gene products and protein complexes having at least some part of their peptide sequence embedded in the hydrophobic region of the membrane. |
| | GO:0031305 | | integral component of mitochondrial inner membrane | | The component of the mitochondrial inner membrane consisting of the gene products having at least some part of their peptide sequence embedded in the hydrophobic region of the membrane. |
| | GO:0016020 | | membrane | | A lipid bilayer along with all the proteins and protein complexes embedded in it an attached to it. |
| | GO:0005743 | | mitochondrial inner membrane | | The inner, i.e. lumen-facing, lipid bilayer of the mitochondrial envelope. It is highly folded to form cristae. |
| | GO:0031966 | | mitochondrial membrane | | Either of the lipid bilayers that surround the mitochondrion and form the mitochondrial envelope. |
| | GO:0005739 | | mitochondrion | | A semiautonomous, self replicating organelle that occurs in varying numbers, shapes, and sizes in the cytoplasm of virtually all eukaryotic cells. It is notably the site of tissue respiration. |
